    [SOLVED] I've just bought an I7 9700F... Whats up with the 65W TDP? :/

    Hmm I don't have an enable option at all, I can only click auto or disable. Another thing I found strange was the XMP profile on my ram wants to change the settings different to when I had the 8400 in. Not much else I can do though than push the TDP and cool it better.

    [SOLVED] I've just bought an I7 9700F... Whats up with the 65W TDP? :/

    Yea I set the TDP for now to 95W which is what the 9700K is, I'll get a Be Quiet or Noctua and then tinker some more I guess then.

    It is boost I'm talking about, all cores under load 100% stress testing it.

    [SOLVED] I've just bought an I7 9700F... Whats up with the 65W TDP? :/

    I do have MCE but I don't think its working, looking online I've seen various different sources saying Non-K works and doesn't work with MCE. In the 28 second extra boost at the start of the turbo all cores boost to the same freq but then when it comes back down to the set TDP they aren't all...

    [SOLVED] I've just bought an I7 9700F... Whats up with the 65W TDP? :/

    No idea why but the Intel pages don't tell you the specific boosts for any processor, I should of put up to 4.7 though in my post not 4.5. But the per core boosts are: 4,700 MHz (1 core), 4,700 MHz (2 cores), 4,600 MHz (3 cores), 4,600 MHz (4 cores), 4,500 MHz (5 cores), 4,500 MHz (6 cores)...

    [SOLVED] I've just bought an I7 9700F... Whats up with the 65W TDP? :/

    This isn't a problem as such, it works and its an upgrade over my 8400. I have put the 9700F in my Asus TUF Z370-Plus and the 65W TDP is throttling the all core turbo to 3.9-4.1Ghz when it can run 4.5Ghz on all 8 cores. I can't find anywhere in BIOS to change the TDP but I have downloaded...

    [SOLVED] Please someone help me fix my pc :((

    Download HW Monitor and then run it. Either do a benchmark test or just play a game for a while and then screen shot the info.

    When these things happen are you monitoring your PC? Like CPU/GPU usage etc, with something like Afterburner?

    [SOLVED] What graphics card should I upgrade to?

    I would only get one if its really cheap. Yes you can't get a 3060TI right now but paying the same or even more for something worse is never a good idea.

    [SOLVED] Why has my GPU default fan suddenly locked itself to max out at 25%?

    I just checked one more thing before I started clean booting and I've found what it is. I had checked the box for experimental features on Nvidia Geforce Experience to use the new performance overlay. Unchecking it fixed it.

    [SOLVED] Why has my GPU default fan suddenly locked itself to max out at 25%?

    I've used Afterburner since I bought a PC and messed with turning the fan curve on. I'm pretty sure using the afterburner fan curve makes my games choppy and stuttery though, as to why I have no idea. The default fan max when it is working is about 55% though because when you turn the curve on...

    [SOLVED] Why has my GPU default fan suddenly locked itself to max out at 25%?

    I did install it to see if I could make the settings stick but It didn't, so I just uninstalled it straight away. I also uninstalled Afterburner and it still did it so I had to re-install that to stop my PC turning off from max GPU temps. I'll give the clean boot a try.

    [SOLVED] Why has my GPU default fan suddenly locked itself to max out at 25%?

    Hi, Some time in the the last week or 2 my GPU fan has started throttling at 1050rpm (25%, which is minimum if you go on Afterburner slider.) throughout the whole range up to max utilization. The default was max fans at 55% and then it just thermal throttled at 82 degrees. I've updated Bios...

    [SOLVED] What hertz of monitor should I use?

    He's asking what he should use on the monitor he has I guess.. ALWAYS use the native refresh, so 144hz. Even playing at lower the panel will still scan out at the maximum and you will get the lower input lag from it. If you don't already have one the higher is always better right? So 360hz. ;)
